Today I had to vote for the songs I want Metallica to play in the show. They'll play 18 songs: 1 new (chosen by them) and the other 17 by popular vote. These were my choices:Pandemonium wrote:So I guess the line marks how many songs they'll play in the set? Everything above that line has been regularly played for years now except Orion which they included as a set closer just for the last year or two. I'd love to hear them play "Eye Of The Beholder" again. That hasn't been played since early on the "Black" album tour around '91. Also funny, the two very bottom songs rank high in my personal Metallica favorites.Larry B. wrote:However, they're now doing a "Metallica by Request" tour, where supposedly the audience votes beforehand on the setlist. Here is the current vote for the show in Santiago. I'm glad to see "Ride the Lightning" there. I don't know how much Metallica will stick to these voting or if it's even legit, but I checked out the voting for both shows in Argentina and they're quite different. So yeah, hopefully they won't play Frantic and St. Anger.
"Serious" (i.e., the ones I actually want to hear)
1. Fade to Black
2. Seek and Destroy
3. The Unforgiven
4. Creeping Death
5. Ride the Lightning
6. For Whom the Bell Tolls
7. Whiplash
8. The Four Horsemen
9. Fight Fire with Fire
10. Hit the Lights
11. Hero of the Day
12. Jump in the Fire
13. Of Wolf and Man
"Joke votes" (i.e., the ones I'd laugh at if they play them)
14. The Memory Remains
15. I Disappear
16. Mama Said
17. Turn the Page
I thought about voting for Eye of the Beholder, but standing at 780 votes there's hardly any chance of their playing it (the cut is currently at 3,200 votes.)
I must admit that it was quite fun voting for the songs. I called the friend with which I'm going and we chatted for like 10 minutes while voting. Doesn't happen every day.
